PayPal Here 2015.403.1917.3209
For those who are accustomed to make online payments, to receive or send money through this services, there is now a Windows Phone application called PayPal Here that can make things a lot easier while on the go.
Clean and well designed interface
The official PayPal app offers a nice looking GUI, with a tidy front-end, where everything is well organized and easy to reach, so you can make all the transactions you need in an intuitive manner.
The navigation among the various sections of the app is fluent and without any lags, but when carrying out a local search, the data flow might be a bit slower and the information might appear with a bit of delay.
Straightforward management of transactions
As soon as you log in, you will see the current balance and amount of available funds, along with the recent activity, all these right inside the main screen of PayPal Here.
You can easily add credit or debit cards via the dedicated section of the "Settings" area, so as to have at hand all the commonly used means of payment you use for making transactions.
A neat search function that is closely related to the location services awaits for you to use it and find merchants nearby and get accurate directions on how to get there if you want to see for yourself the products on sale or make other arrangements.
Requesting money from friends or family members who also use PayPal or sending funds are both supported by this app and from the same module you can view and manage your own finances, by checking out the balance and adding or withdrawing money on the go.
Quick access and usage advice
It is very important to take into consideration the transaction fees that you have to pay when using the PayPal service, like the 2.7% taken each time a US card is used and thus avoid unpleasant situations.
In case you spot some differences between the data displayed by the app and what you know is in your PayPal account, visiting the mobile site and checking from your account will show the exact information. Also, for some operations you will have to resort to the website as the app does not cover all its functions at this time.
In order to be able to access the app a bit faster, you can create a 4 to 8 digits PIN code and use it alongside your registered mobile number instead of the email and password combination. However, for some reason this method of authentication may not function properly and the default one will have to be used.
